Egg Matching.

An article entitled "Natural Incuba-
tion'' appears in the last issue of the Hus-
bandnsan, by Stephen Beale. After dis.
cussing fertilization of the eggs in domes-
tic fowls and wild birds he states that
s'eggs laid by birds in wild state Gas far
as our observation goes) seldom fail to
hatch.' We beg leave to state that so far
as our observation goes, the eggs of wild
birds often fail to hatch. It is true that
they do not fail SO completely Or so fre-
quent1y as do the eggs of domesticated
fowls. But it is a very common thing
find a nest of just hatched wild birds such
as robins, 1arks, black birds and others,
containing one or more bad eggs. Some
times as half the eggs are bad and there is
one species Of bird we know of that lays
all the way from ten to fifteen eggs of

Mailing letters.
birds.

The postmaster at this place tells us that
some people still persist in dropping let
ters into the letter boxes without first af-
fixing the necessary postage thereto, which
causes extra work for the postmaster and
an unnecessary delay in the transmission
of the mails. Postage must be prepaid.
Several parties have mailed letters with
Canadian stamps upon them. This will
not do, they must be e. S. stamps. Let
ters that are mailed without stamps are
held at the drop office until the addresses
are informed of the amount of postage due
and if they do not remit the necessary pos
tage the letters are forwarded to the dead
letter department at Washington. Parties
sending letters should remem ber these I'M
alterable rules and act in accordance with
them thereby lessening the work of the
postmaster and assuring the speedy deliv.
cry of their letters.

All covered with snow, see it blow, what a

That's cold poetry, but it is seasonable
just the same.
No news this week; everything is very
quiet.
Miss Bette Allin, daughter of MIR. Jos.
Allin, of Sand Coulee, who is visiting her
Uncle at Chestnut, has been very i'll for
the past two weeks, but we are pleased to
note that she is rapidly recovering.
William Stoddard got his leg frozen be-
low the knee while on his way to attend
court, at the would be county seat of the
new county.
James Boston, who got his right leg
crushed here last week, had it amputated
below the knee, and is getting along very
nicely. Jim has excellent nerve, and we
think he will pull through all right.
The recent cold weather has closed up
our singing school. This should not stop
the aids from singing; there is nothing
more el-vating in community than a
good singing school or a good debating
society. Both should be well cultivated
and universally patronized.
Some half-breeds were arrested here
last week and taken to Sun River for kill
ing cattle. If you can prove it on them,
judge, send 'em up. That's the only way
to stop them.
I'VE want new county. We want
Great Falls for its county seat; if we can't
get the county seat at Great Falls, we
don't want new county. That is all there
is about it. said prominent stock and
land owner of this place. For the last
fifteen years we have been compelled to
go to the county seat at least once a year
and sometimes oftener, distance of over
$50 miles, and during the winter months
it is almest inaccessible, and we are
tired OF it. And besides that by taking a
map of this we have wealth enough to
sustain good county and place it on a
prolific basis. And knowing the marvel
Gus facilities which Great Falls possesses,
its great coal fields, its wonderful water
power, and above all its location as great
commercial centre. ETC., we therefore feel
confident that it will be the leading town
in northern Montana within one year from
date, and OF course we want it for the
county seat. This question should be
well considered before acted upon; and
when the county seat is once established,
it should be made permanent. For that
reason we want it at the Falls.

The Hook and Ladder Company

Our readers and especially those who
have contributed toward the fund, will
doubtless be interested in knowing some
thing about the progress of the fire com
pany and the apparatus. Under the di-
reetion of Chief Frame, considerable of
the wood work has been completed, and
some of the iron work is now under head
way at the blacksmith shop OF Mr. Pratt.
The hard wood ladder rounds have been
in Helena for some time past, but have
like much other freight been delayed by
the storms. Rubber buckets have been
ordered from the east. Wheels, axIes and
springs Of improved pattern and proper
proportions have been sent for and will
probably arrive as soon as the roads are
once more open. A bell tower 50 feet
high is being framed and will be ready
for erection in suitable place as soon as
the bell comes. Altogether the fire ap-
paratus is fairly on towards completion,
and before long the people of Great Falls
may sleep securely in the knowledge Of
having an equipped hook and ladder com.
pany ready and wiling to protect them
from the ravages of the devouring ele.
ment.

ward Walkers coulee. Late in the even

right opposite Clark's cabin on the left
side of the coulee, feeding up the bluff
wards Walkers. Early the next morning
we heard some heavy shooting in the di-
rection of Walkers. I am satisfied that
he was closer the shooting than l was and
could probably give more correct idea of
it than | could. If Mr.. Walker can give
full particulars of the person who did the
shooting and whether it was done towards
the antelopes, hope that he will bring
the guilty party to justice, for the time has
come when we must protect the game. :,

Great Falls to be a County Seat.

It is to be learned from reliable sources
that the bill now before the legislature in
Helena, creating the county of Cascade,
with Great Falls as county seat is sure to
pass and will take effect in May. Now it
would be an excellent idea for all the gen
tlemen in town to go and see the new
spring samples at c. P. Thomson's and get
a suit made in time for the laying of the
corner stone of the million dollar court
house that will be erected here. The la
dies will also require new dresses, sewing
machines, etc, all can be had from Thorn
sons store. If.
